Sweeping melodies, brilliant musicians and Rachmaninov by candlelight

Get ready for a big evening of classical music. Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto by Candlelight brings one of the world's most popular piano concertos to the beautiful surroundings of St Mary le Strand in central London.

Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 is packed with sweeping melodies, emotional depth and seriously impressive piano writing. Acclaimed pianist Warren Mailley-Smith takes on the solo part, performing alongside the Piccadilly Sinfonietta in the warm glow of candlelight.

The programme begins with Dvořák's Waltz from Serenade for Strings before moving through Elgar's reflective Nimrod from Enigma Variations and Prokofiev's dramatic Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet. Rachmaninov's mighty second piano concerto then takes centre stage.

Formed in 2017, the Piccadilly Sinfonietta performs more than 200 concerts each year at prestigious venues across the UK. For this performance, the ensemble joins forces with Warren Mailley-Smith to bring the evening's orchestral and piano works to life.

Whether Rachmaninov is already firmly on your playlist or you're ready to experience a live piano concerto for the first time, choose your performance, take your seat and let the music do the talking.
